Professional Development

You’ll start
building your career the moment you set foot on campus.

You’ll do more than just
learn about areas like accounting, finance, economics, marketing, and
information systems. You’ll develop key skills for the workplace. You’ll
discover how to synthesize information, analyze situations, and react
thoughtfully and critically.

Plan
your Career Path

To help you plan your career
track, you’ll take a 1-credit course called Effective Career Planning. The
two-day course brings together full- and part-time graduate students from all
campuses.

You’ll complete an online
self-assessment tool to measure your business competencies, networking savvy,
emotional intelligence, and influential power. You’ll also have workshops with corporate
coaches to learn more about career strategies, effective business writing, and
corporate presentations.

In the end, you’ll develop a clear
career development plan to ensure that your Suffolk MBA sets you on the right
path.

Achieve
your Career Goals

You also have access to our
EDGE Professional Development workshops, which are open to all Sawyer Business School graduate
students. Led by executive coaches and corporate
consultants, the workshops help you build your resume, expand your network, negotiate salaries, gain expertise in databases like Bloomberg, and more.

“As someone who earned my
undergraduate degree while working full-time, I was expecting my MBA experience
to be similar—no contacts outside the classroom, no sense of being part of the
school, etc. I was extremely pleased with the EDGE program and the many
opportunities it provided to network with alumni, faculty, and other MBAs who
are working professionals,” says Adam
W. Taylor (MBA/JD ’07), Director, Innovation Portfolio at AT&T.
